So, we often hear now that the President says they never said there was a connection between 9/11 and Iraq. I was just reading an old interview with Condoleeza Rice on Wolf Blitzer and found this (Condoleeza Rice's words):

The president of the United States did not go to war because of the question of whether or not Saddam Hussein sought the uranium in Africa. He took the American people and American forces to war because this was a bloody tyrant, who for 12 years had defied the international community, who had weapons of mass destruction, who had used them in the past, who was threatening his neighbors, and who threatened our efforts to make the Middle East a place in which you would have stability and therefore not people with ideologies of hatred driving airplanes into the World Trade Center. That's why we went to war.

Anyway, I just found it interesting. They're so good at getting saying everything without actually saying it...the sad part is, they seem to genuinely believe themselves.
